Confession Of A Murderer.-- Philadelphia, June 29.-- A Polander, who has had an interview with T. S. Kupenskis, in the county Prison, made some developments, today, before Mayor Gilpin. The following is the substance of the confession made by the condemned.
Mathias said: I killed a young Lehman by striking him on the head with a stove leg. Blaise, my brother, as well as Kaysar, whose real name is John Rutkowski, are still at large. Mathias also said the party had killed a farmer and his family of six persons near Newark, and afterwards set fire to the premises. They obtained $74 and some jewelry in the house. He also confessed to a murder near Baltimore, and said that they had murdered near eighty persons, and burned 50 houses, since their arrival in the country, the plunder amounting to $8000, which is buried in the mountains, and is under the charge of Kaysar.
This confession is so extravagant as to lead to the supposition that he is now insane. He expressed confidence of escaping, through the aid of Kaysar, and designs murdering all concerned in his arrest and conviction, besides numerous persons in New York.
